Elephant & Castle’s expertise in buying, selling and evaluating firearms, is the reason why we are the premier firearms appraiser in the Midwest area.

We have an extensive firearm library, research materials and over 50 years combined personal knowledge that allows us to thoroughly and accurately determine the value of your particular firearm, or collection of firearms. Appraisals are necessary for estate purposes, insurance, or if you just want to know what that old gun is worth.

Having your firearms appraised is easy. Call us and schedule an appointment to have your firearms evaluated. Pricing is determined by what type or how many firearms are appraised and whether you need a written or verbal appraisal. Sometimes extensive research is needed to properly estimate your firearms value and subsequently the appraisal fee will increase.

If you decide to sell your firearm or firearms to Elephant & Castle, then we will credit your appraisal fee.

About Us

Elephant and Castle Fine Arms Company was formed in late 2005 after its Founder, Doug Bowen realized the need for a high quality Gun Store in South-West Missouri. Fine, rare and collectable firearms for the discriminating buyer were becoming ever increasingly popular. Starting with a combined 60 years experience in Retail Sales and Gunsmithing and a desire to provide the best in Customer Service, Doug located the store just off the square in Historic Downtown Ozark. Elephant & Castle offers the seasoned as well as the new firearm buyer such brands as Kimber, Blaser, H&K, Sig-Sauer, CZ-USA, Benelli and many other quality brands. They also offer used and collectable firearms such as Parker, L.C.Smith, Fox, Purdey, Churchill and a myriad of other famous brands.
